Titanfall: pre-E3 reveal leak reactions were "scary"
Titanfall is a bold departure from the standard shooter formula, and presenting it to the public for the first time was a frightening prospect for the Call of Duty veterans at Respawn Entertainment.
Titanfall has been the star of every show its visited so far, but speaking with Ausgamers, Respawn community manager Abbie Heppe said bringing a new IP to market isn't as easy as the developer made it look.
"I think we have a great window to do new IP right now, the timing is great, but before E3, we were sitting there, and nobody really outside the studio had seen the game – we were a little bit scared," she said.
"Especially when stuff started leaking out about it, and I remember looking at the early comments, and people going 'they're making a mech game? That sounds stupid; I don't want that.'"
Heppe said many fans expected Respawn to produce a Call of Duty-style game because so many of its staff are Infinity Ward veterans; the studio formed when Jason West and Vince Zampella led a mass exodus.
"I think there were a lot of gamers that were expecting that that's more or less exactly what we would do, only it would be in space. When stuff leaked and it wasn't that – and none of those early leaks really covered the sort of parkour stuff, and the wall running, which is one of my favourite parts of it – there were a lot of comments like 'oh, this is going to be terrible,'" she said.
"To have that going into E3, when you're trying to be excited and think 'I sure hope people like this, because honestly we really don't know', that was a little scary. So after that, it's been really rewarding to see how people have grabbed onto it, because it was a little scary before that."
Titanfall is due on PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in early 2014. Previews have been lavish with praise; take a look at 20 minutes of Titanfall gameplay to see why.

RICHMOND, Va. – If you turned on Thursday's VCU-Saint Joseph's game and felt like you were watching an instant classic from some March of yesteryear, don't worry, you weren't the only one. This was a March appetizer on a January plate.
What you were actually witnessing was just another day in the life of the rough-and-tumble Atlantic 10 Conference, 22nd-ranked VCU's new hoops home. This probably won't be the last one of these. There are very few pushovers in one of America's deepest leagues, and there are apparently no off nights in this 16-team gauntlet. While the Colonial Athletic Association was often a caste system of haves and have-nots, the A-10 feels like a balanced free-for-all.
What we learned from the Rams' heart-pounding, how-did-they-do-it 92-86 overtime victory, in addition to expect more white-knuckle barnburners, was that VCU (15-3, 3-0 A-10) is also up to the challenge offered by the A-10.
When the Rams' backs were against the wall, they found an answer. When they needed to counterpunch, and counterpunch, and counterpunch they did. When they needed something miraculous, they got it. It wasn't perfect. Saint Joseph's (9-6, 1-2 A-10) hit 9-of-22 threes and shot 52 percent for the game, but it was enough.
"If you want to win a conference you have to win games like this," said VCU Head Coach Shaka Smart. "Not every game is a masterpiece."
After nearly 40 minutes of prize-fight quality back-and-forth action, Troy Daniels pulled the Rams' off the ropes with a 3-pointer from the corner with 13.8 seconds left in regulation to trim a 79-75 Saint Joseph's lead to a single point. It was his only field goal of the evening.
Then, after the Hawks' Ronald Roberts missed the second of two free throws, Darius Theus – he of the career performance of 22 points, 10 assists and zero turnovers – raced down court, drove the lane and scored a right-handed layup to tie the game at 80-all with 6.8 seconds left.
In overtime, a supercharged sellout crowd – the 29th straight for VCU – erupted when Treveon Graham's four-point play pushed the Rams to an 86-80 advantage with 3:27 to play. Saint Joseph's meanwhile, appeared to succumb to VCU's chaotic style of play and deeper bench. The Hawks committed turnovers on their first two possessions of the extra period and never recovered.
Thursday was a test of wills against the A-10 Preseason favorite, a team that includes at least one future NBA Draft pick in C.J. Aiken and several other all-league types. It's something the Rams are going to have to get accustomed to. Every night is a potential upset. While the jump to the A-10 is widely considered a positive for VCU, there's still the task of playing a higher level of competition, and actually winning, to deal with.
"One of the great things about moving to this league was, there's going to be plenty of opportunities like this and you've got to step up and find a way to win," Smart said. "It's a double-edged sword because you're playing a really good team, so it's not like you can just roll out there and they're going to give you the game."
Throughout non-conference play, aside from close losses to ranked opponents Duke, Missouri and Wichita State, VCU made the game look easy. The Rams went 12-3 in non-league play and won by an average of nearly 20 points. They demoralized East Tennessee State by 51, they overpowered Alabama by 26, they bulldozed Western Kentucky and Winthrop by 30-plus. Even wins over ranked Memphis and well-regarded Belmont came by double digits.
It's pretty clear the A-10 schedule is a different animal. The Rams are 3-0 in league play, but each win was a grind. Although the Rams topped Dayton 74-62, for more than 30 minutes it was a toss-up game. Days later, VCU had to battle defending league champion St. Bonaventure for 40 minutes in Olean, N.Y., one of the league's most trying outposts. And then there was Thursday's if-you-missed-it-you're-sorry knock-down, drag-out donnybrook.
"We're getting a heck of an introduction to the Atlantic 10 with these last three games, and it doesn't show any signs of stopping," Smart said.
Buckle up. It's going to be one heck of a ride.

A new tool for shooting tethered...
If you shoot tethered to your iPad I have a very handy tool that will make your life a bit easier, it's the iKlip from IK Multimedia.
Whenever possible I strongly recommend shooting tethered as it gives you a much better view of your subject. I'm sure I am not the only (or first) photographer who has "chimped" at an image and was sure I had it only to learn after downloading it (and viewing it on a larger screen) that I in fact did not have it.
But setting up a laptop to shoot tethered is not always a viable option, but shooting tethered to an iPad left you with the problem of how (and where) to secure your iPad?
The iKlip is the perfect solution, it will allow you to shoot tethered to your iPad secure in the fact it is not going anywhere.
I treat all of my gear like it's important, because it is and I will not use something unless I have complete confidence in its ability to meet my expectation of keeping my gear safe and the iKlip meets (and exceeds) my high standards.
It gets two thumbs way up. Watch the video below for my "hands on" demonstration.
Now if you have an iPad but don't yet use it to shoot tether, stay tuned as we will soon have a tutorial on that very subject.
If this post was delivered to your inbox then it came without the video portion attached, so you should return to the blog or head directly over to our YouTube channel to watch it.

Giving away an iPad… good one.
And good luck getting mine, my wife is not into technology… does not use the computer, no email address, doesn't even use a cell phone, but when it comes to my iPad it's waaaaaaay different, I have to hit her with a tranquilizer dart to get it out of her hands!
I love both the technology and the portability.
Regarding the software for shooting tethered, I don't want to "steal the thunder" from the post but I promise to have the tutorial up (hopefully) by week's end.

Recently got an iPad (1st version) at a nice discounted price. I really like the idea of the stand, but more for cooking. My fiancee and I like to cook together and this would help hold the iPad (with all of our recipes) :)
On a side note ... still haven't seen the follow-up: Shooting tethered with the iPad :)

David Friedman / NBC News
Richard Mele of Breezy Point, N.Y., on Tuesday looks over some fishing tackle he salvaged from his flooded home.
BREEZY POINT, N.Y. -- With a nor'easter expected by Wednesday afternoon, residents of the areas hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy were urged to leave and, in some cases, ordered to. Some airlines also announced cancellations at New York area airports starting Wednesday afternoon.
People still in low-lying areas of Staten Island and the Rockaways are being urged to leave, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Tuesday. He also ordered parks and beaches closed on Wednesday.
In New Jersey, Brick Township ordered mandatory evacuations, NBCPhiladelphia.com reported. That area of Ocean County was where Sandy made landfall on Oct. 29.
The developing nor'easter is expected to track farther offshore than earlier thought, but that will mean even colder air along the coast.
Gusts up to 50 miles per hour and several inches of snow are possible in New York City and along the New Jersey coast starting Wednesday evening, the National Weather Service warned Tuesday.
"It's going to impact many areas that were devastated by Sandy," said National Weather Service forecaster Bruce Terry. "It will not be good."
Outside of Manhattan, New York residents are still facing a power outage as temperatures drop and the region braces for another storm. NBC's Stephanie Gosk reports.
Some coastal flooding is also a possibility in places like Breezy Point in the Rockaways.
Richard Mele, a 68-year-old retired New York City firefighter, was pumping out water from his flooded basement in Breezy Point to try and salvage any keepsakes ahead of the nor'easter.
"There's no stopping this water from coming again tomorrow," he said, as a generator hummed in the background and while standing in front of a table bearing rare wooden, handmade fishing lures.
The ground is so saturated that Mele can't get the water out permanently. "It's going to rain three inches," he said. "It's going right in my basement."
"When it rains it pours," he added. "We're down and it's just going to keep kicking us."
Michele Nagel, in her 40s, said she'd close the windows and that was about it.

"Everything we own is outside on the porch. It's all awash, literally, it's awash," she laughed. "Nothing else you can do."
The worst flooding is expected "at high tide, mainly along northern and northeast-facing beaches," weather.com reported, "but will be much lower than the magnitude of Sandy's coastal flooding."
Temperatures across the Northeast have been dipping into the low 30s, and nearly one million homes and businesses remained without power as of Tuesday morning.
The updated forecast now calls for snow.
"Cold air will wedge itself along the I-95 corridor to bring some accumulating snows from Delaware to Maine," the weather service's prediction center stated. "A few inches are possible" in cities like New York, Boston and Philadelphia, it added.
From weather.com: Storm's city-by-city forecasts
Full coverage of Sandy's aftermath
The incoming storm will create additional storm surge, wind, and more power outages for the already besieged East Coast. Weather Channel meteorologist Jim Cantore reports.
In Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., Laura DiPasquale on Monday frantically searched dozens of trash bags that volunteers had stuffed full of her household belongings and brought to the curb, trying to make sure nothing she intended to keep had gotten tossed out with debris.
"I don't know where anything is; I can't even find my checkbook," she told The Associated Press. "I have no idea what's in any of these bags. And now another storm is coming and I feel enormous pressure. I don't know if I can do this again. It is so overwhelming."
Want to help the recovery? Here's how
Sandy roared ashore as a rare hybrid superstorm after killing 69 people in the Caribbean and then merging with a strong North Atlantic system.
It killed at least 113 in the United States and knocked out power to millions of people while swamping seaside towns and inundating New York City's streets and subway tunnels.
Residents across the Northeast pick up the pieces after Superstorm Sandy killed more than 100 people in 10 states and left a trail of destruction.
More than 217,000 people had registered for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and about $199 million in has been provided, Reuters reported.

Anonymous ads attack Josh Hawley on guns, boost third-party candidates
BY JASON HANCOCK, firstname.lastname@example.com
October 31, 2018 05:04 PM
Updated October 31, 2018 05:04 PM
Voters in at least four counties around the state have received political mailers from an unknown source attacking Republican U.S. Senate candidate Josh Hawley on guns and implying that they should support a third-party or independent candidate.
The mailers fail to identify who paid for them, which is required by law. But they appear to be connected to mailers attacking GOP senate candidates in Montana and Indiana.
Hawley, the states attorney general, is running against incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in one of the most hotly contested Senate campaigns in the country.
One of the mailers, received by a voter in Clay County, said Hawley wants to make it harder to buy guns. It then calls independent Senate candidate Craig ODear a tireless defender of our 2nd Amendment rights. Another mailer says voters cant count on Hawley to protect our gun rights, then lays out the positions of Libertarian candidate Japheth Campbell.
The mailers are similar to ones that appear to be circulating in Montana and Indiana, two other states like Missouri where an incumbent Democrat is running in a tight Senate race. In Indiana, the states Libertarian Party denied any connection to the mailers.
ODear criticized the mailers in a Facebook post on Monday.
The flyer, as described to us, attacks Josh Hawley for his Second Amendment position, and does so in a misleading manner, he said. Its not ugly; its just misleading. Anyone who is familiar with our campaign would know the flyer makes no sense it criticizes Hawley for purportedly taking positions we actually support.
Hawley was endorsed by the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund, which called him a champion of our Second Amendment freedoms.
His spokeswoman, Kelli Ford, placed the blame for the mailers on McCaskill.
"Sounds like another dirty trick by Claire McCaskill, she said. She wrote the book on it. This is just more of the same.
Ford was referencing McCaskills book, Plenty Ladylike, where she discusses behind-the-scenes efforts to support Todd Akin in advance of the 2012 Missouri Republican primary.
McCaskills campaign denied any connection to the mailer.
Claire condemns all dark money efforts, including these mailers, said Meira Bernstein, McCaskills spokeswoman. Josh Hawley supports anonymous political giving, and Claire will continue to work hard to end it.

INDIANAPOLIS — Eli Lilly and Co. unveiled a better-than-expected 2013 earnings forecast Friday, in part because the pharmaceutical company expects growth from several established drugs to help make up for revenue lost to generic competition.
INDIANAPOLIS — Eli Lilly and Co. unveiled a better-than-expected 2013 earnings forecast Friday, in part because the pharmaceutical company expects growth from several established drugs to help make up for revenue lost to generic competition.
The Indianapolis drug developer saw sales for its all-time best-selling drug, the antipsychotics Zyprexa, crater in 2012 after it lost U.S. patent protection. Lilly will take another hit next December when it loses patent protection for its current top seller, the antidepressant Cymbalta.
But company executives told analysts Friday they still expect Cymbalta and another product that loses patent protection in 2013, the insulin Humalog, to help drive revenue growth along with products like the cancer treatment Alimta and the erectile dysfunction drug Cialis.
Lilly also expects more growth from Japan, developing countries and its animal health business.
All told, the drugmaker forecast 2013 adjusted earnings of between $3.75 and $3.90 per share on $22.6 billion to $23.4 billion in revenue.
That topped analyst expectations, on average, for per-share earnings of $3.72, according to FactSet. Analysts also expected $22.87 billion in revenue.
Company shares climbed $1.71, or 3.4 percent, to $51.43 in Friday afternoon trading, while broader indexes rose less than 1 percent.
Lilly said it expects operating expenses will be flat or drop slightly compared with 2012, and that was slightly better than what Edward Jones analyst Judson Clark expected.
He called Lilly's 2013 forecast "a pleasant surprise," but he also noted that plenty of long-term concerns remain. Lilly won't feel the brunt of the Cymbalta patent loss until 2014, and Clark expects the company's earnings to shrink then. What remains to be seen, he said, is whether the drugmaker is willing to preserve its dividend and cut expenses enough to tame that loss.
"We think the real question marks are in 2014," he said.
Lilly also expects to counter the patent expirations by developing new drugs, and the company said Friday it has 13 experimental drugs in late-stage testing, the last phase before a company seeks regulatory approval.
Lilly reiterated on Friday that it expects at least $3 billion in net income and revenue of at least $20 billion through 2014. It also expects to keep paying its dividend and to buy back $1.5 billion in shares this year.
Zyprexa once brought in more than $5 billion in annual revenue for Lilly, but its sales sank 66 percent through the first nine months of 2012 after generic competition entered the market. The company expects revenue from Cymbalta, which topped $4 billion in 2011, to start falling in this year's fourth quarter.
Humalog, Lilly's best-selling insulin, brought in about $1.4 billion in U.S. revenue in 2011. That product may take less of a sales hit after it loses U.S. patent protection in May because it's a biologic drug made from living cells instead of a chemical formula. Those are harder for generic drugmakers to replicate.
Lilly should not expect to replace blockbuster drug revenue with another round of blockbusters, said WBB Securities analyst Steve Brozak. He said the company's success will depend on a combination of drug development, partnerships with other companies and acquisitions that help stoke its product pipeline.
But that approach will be difficult because other drugmakers also are facing patent expirations and will be competing with Lilly on those deals.
"If (Lilly executives) think that business as usual applies, their shareholders are going to vote with their sell orders," he said.
The company reports fourth-quarter and 2012 results Jan. 29.

3/9 On new OF coach Dave McKay
Dave has his style, and it makes sense why the Cardinals and the A's were the best baserunning teams in baseball, why their outfield was fundamentally sound and they never made mistakes. Playing quality baseball is what he's about. He simplifies everything. There's certain things he does at first base that I've never heard of first base coaches doing but it makes so much sense. On singles or doubles, he'll be in front of us instead of being out in the coaches' box. On ground balls. we know when they're hit to us, nobody's on, we're supposed to catch and throw it in. But, hey, catch it like an infielder, and not just that, let's reinforce it, let's work on it every single day, and that's the first thing we do is ground balls, catch it like an infielder, catch it like an infielder. You might not see one error this year from an outfielder where the ball with nobody on base, the ball is hit right to him, regardless of the field, how fast it is, how slow it is, how much it snakes. Baserunning, hitting the base with your right foot. It's very simple but at the same time, do you really do it? With him, its reinforcing it, doing it over and over and over again. Yesterday, I hit a pop fly and I was running around and I was caught in between and hit it with my left foot and I ran by him, and he said, "You hit it with the wrong foot." We're learning. That's what I think the staff is about. He brings that quality of baseball to this team. We have a lot of young guys but we have older guys like me and we get to learn. I love learning new things and that's what he brings to the table.

This makes me so incredibly happy
Nice HR today. I like the way you sprint around the bases. I went to 71 games last year. I really respect your " Love of the Game".
Hi Marlon!
I think it's neat that you are learning from a guy who is teaching you Little League fundamentals! Have you ever thought about the word "fundamentals"? I mean, doesn't it sound like you're having fun with mentals? That's what it sounds like to me and I think that alone is going to make you guys 13% better this season.
You said in your blog that there aren't going to be any errors made on routine hits to the outfield this year, but come on man…you have Alfonso Soriano out there. I don't mean to be a downer, but I'll make you a cash wager of $1,000 that you're wrong about this one. You probably remember that I went down to Vegas to play in a World Series of Poker event last year (remember my crack about how as a Cubs fan that's the only way I can get to the World Series?). I did lousy in the tournament, but the last thing I did on my way out of town was bet against you guys with all the money I had left because Rodrigo Lopez was pitching the second game of a double header. That's how dark it got last year, Marlon…but at least I was able to make some money on you guys.
Marlon, my brother-in-law Andy started The Southeast Church this year (www.thesoutheastchurch.com). Because they meet on Sunday evenings it looks like he won't be able to put a team into church league softball! I mean, we're defending champions, Marlon! I feel like maybe we're like John Elway. Not in the sense that we own a car dealership in Denver and have giant horse-like teeth, but in the sense that we won the whole thing and now we're walking out on top. Fortunately for me I've found a spot on a men's league team that plays on Monday nights, but what is my sister-in-law Tara going to do? You know what she said after we won that tournament? She said that was the first time she had ever won anything like that before. She didn't grow up playing sports and, here's the thing Marlon, you can't win a tap dance recital.
Well Marlon, I'm getting really excited about the upcoming season. It's going to be amazing!!!!! I'm so glad that Portland finally has a team I can root for! The Major League Soccer Timbers should be really good this year! When they moved into town they displaced the AAA baseball team we had here which hurt at first, but then I started to realize just how great soccer is to watch and be a part of. My son (name intentionally withheld) didn't want to play baseball this year so we're slowly becoming a soccer household. Maybe one day the Cubs will be good enough to follow more closely but that's not going to be this year. WHEN WE ROOT WE ROOT FOR THE TIMBERS! and HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY PORTLAND TIIIIIIIIMBEEERS!
Every time the Timbers score a goal at home their mascot, a big lumberjack named Timber Joey, saws a giant slice off a log with a chainsaw. I was thinking the Cubs could do something like that. You could have Bricklayer Bill and he could slap a brick down with some mortar every time you score a run. By the end of the seaon you might have a nice little flower box to plant some marigolds in!
Please visit my blog at http://keenkeith.blogspot.com!
Keith…Thanks for rambling aimlessly and saying absolutely nothing worthwhile. No one gives a crap about your lousy poker playing, softball team or Portland soccer. Wow, watching a big mascot saw a log…(once, maybe twice per game, if you're lucky)…man, that's excitement! We're all sawing logs now…ZZZZZZZZZZ. Snoozer! Soccer household? Please say hello to your picture of Vladimir Putin for me you commie! And, by the way the only brick being laid is that stupid blog of yours. You're an idiot.
Hi Chuck Mraz!
Thanks for replying to my reply to Marlon! It's good to see people who have time to get riled up over "nothing worthwhile". I have found that in life we often focus our frustrations with what really matters on things of little consequence…this is called 'anger displacement'. For instance, your lack of anything constructive to do (i.e. work) has led you to belittle someone you don't know (i.e. me) and something you didn't read (i.e. my blog).
I don't understand your reference to Communism, but I can assure you that the current American push toward Socialistic public policy is disturbing. I can also tell you that your use of Google to find out how to accurately spell "Vladimir Putin" is very encouraging. Way to use the resources at your disposal, Chuck!
That said, I do appreciate the response and I hope that our mutual love of the Cubs is one day fulfilled with a World Series season!
And always remember…"you and I both love what you and I spoke of and others just read of…others only read of the love, the love that I love"…Your kin Jason (Mr A to Z) seems to know how we feel about the Cubs together.
Hey Marlon,
How would you feel about being traded to Atlanta? I realize right now you are a Cub, and that is where your heart is, but do you have reservations about potentially playing for The ATL? I'm a Braves fan and have seen you in action. It'd be a pleasant surprise to see you help us contend for NL East title. BTW my second favorite NL team is the Cubs. The late son of the Great Cubs announcer Harry Cary, Skip Cary was the long time announcer for Braves, and now his son, Harry Cary's grandson, Chip announces the games.
There are all kinds of rumors flying around about you being traded. If that happens I just wanted you to know it has been a pleasure watching you the last couple of years and you really are a class act.
As we all know, there are several different positions in baseball. One common strain between all of these positions is speed. Speed is an important role in all positions. In the workout that we are going to be doing, we are going to focus on explosive behavior. Such exercises will help us with reaction time, strength, and stability. –

Just in Time for Christmas: the Nintendo Waa!
Want to put a Nintendo Wii under the Christmas tree this year? Then follow a delivery truck. Otherwise you're going to have to make do with a slip of paper, which is slightly better than nothing, but not much.
Unable to keep store shelves stocked with the highly sought video game console, Nintendo today said it will issue a raincheck to customers who aren't able to purchase one in time for the holidays. Rainchecks, which can be purchased from GameStop, are available for the full $249 price of the system. "The system has remained a sellout virtually everywhere in America nonstop from the day it launched," said Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo's U.S. business. "There was no way for us to stockpile systems over the summer to meet the holiday rush. … [T]his shortfall benefits no one. Enough systems would make everyone, including me, happier."
It certainly would. Analysts believe Nintendo has lost an estimated $1 billion in potential sales this holiday season because of the Wii shortage. "It's staggering," MDB Capital Group analyst James Lin told the New York Times. "They could easily sell double what they're selling."

The risk of damage to the eyes from UV light has increased due to ozone depletion in the atmosphere.
Your eyes can become irritated if not protected. You may also put yourself at increased risk of premature ageing of the eyes and other diseases such as cataracts and skin cancer on the eyelids. Our eyes are exposed to UV every day, whatever the conditions. Up to 40% of UV exposure occurs outside of direct sunlight, and it comes from reflections off buildings, glass, water, the sky, the ground, and even off the back of the surface of your lens if they are not treated with UV protection.
Solution - Wearing lenses with UV protection helps shield your eyes from ultra-violet radiation. As well as sunglasses, you can also opt for clear lenses which also protect against UV. Some lenses offer a higher level of protection than others. Significant UV exposure for spectacle wearers comes from the rear lens surface. Look for a lens with a high Eye-Sun Protection Factor which protects from both the front and rear surface of the lens.

American Tract Society
American Tract Society, founded in New York City, 1825, was a merger of some 50 local and sectarian societies, interdenominational and international in its work, for the purpose of publishing and circulating "whatever would best diffuse a knowledge of Christ as the Redeemer and promote the interests of true religion and sound morality." In 1841 it inaugurated a missionary colportage program. By the 1950s its emphasis has emphasized reaching foreign language groups among American immigrants. Its publications were once widely used in Mennonite Sunday schools in America, and found their way into many Mennonite homes in the United States and Canada, especially before the inauguration of denominational publishing programs. The Society remained active into the 21st century. It depended for support upon voluntary contributions from individuals and churches.
In 2012 the American Tract Society entered a joint publishing agreement with Good News Publishers for the publication and distribution of gospel tracts throughout North America. The American Tract Society's website closed and all administrative activity related to tracts was turned over Good News Publishers.

Leading pediatric care provider reduces reporting time by 65% and eliminates 12-day waiting period for research-related queries
Radnor, Penn – February 22, 2011 – QlikTech (NASDAQ:QLIK), a leader in Business DiscoveryTM – user-driven Business Intelligence, today announced that Children's Hospital of Atlanta (CHOA), one of the largest clinical care providers for children in the U.S., is successfully using QlikView to empower users with intuitive operations, finance and research analysis. With QlikView, 500 users can now leverage the invaluable data that was locked in dozens of different data sources and static reports and CHOA has reduced report generation time by approximately 65%.
As is often the case at many large organizations, years of providing analysis and reports with nearly all of the traditional BI platforms had left the CHOA BI team with expensive implementation schedules, scope reductions and a dissatisfied user base, which ultimately led to a strained relationship between IT and business and clinical staff who need the information. When CHOA's cardiology unit, Sibley Heart Center Cardiology, independently evaluated and selected QlikView to replace IBM Cognos, CHOA management saw that Sibley users were able to run reports and analysis in minutes rather than waiting a week for answers. CHOA decided to conduct a project with QlikView partner IPC Global and gave QlikView 30 days to replace its current vendor's OLAP cube.
"The other vendor's initial cube took nine months to build and still lacked a suitable presentation layer for the end user community," said Michael Thompson, Director of Business Intelligence for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. "QlikView not only replicated the cube's reporting capabilities, but enabled deeper analysis with a simple user interface – all in only 30 days. And today, after only four months of using QlikView, we have developed more applications and dashboards than we had in two years with our other BI tools."
CHOA is using QlikView for operations, finance and research analysis to improve decision making in key areas, such as:
Revenue Management — Equivalent to the information previously available in 50 different static reports, CHOA executives, directors and managers now have a single view of revenue billed each day, by each of its three hospitals, by each service and sub service line, and against targeted goals, disease codes and acting physicians. Before QlikView, each report would have taken approximately 30 hours to build. Now, all of that detail — and more — is available in a dashboard that was built in a month.
Service Line Spending — In a single dashboard, users can analyze expenses for each service line, down to a level of detail that would have been previously impossible to obtain due to the sheer number of data sources. This QlikView application targets spending variances and highlights how to gain efficiencies and improve service.
Research Hypothesis Discovery — Integrating data that dates back to 1985, QlikView now enables CHOA research users to query across multiple databases for population identification, diseases, demographics, visits, lab orders and results. In the past, researchers and physicians had to wait 4-6 weeks for the reports and detail they needed for their grant proposals. Today, they can instantly access a portal that offers a complete picture of the clinical experience, especially the diagnosis-treatment-outcome relationship, and better target research studies.
Waste Reduction and Cost Effectiveness — Using historical data from clinic management and accounting systems, the QlikView application allows CHOA management to pinpoint areas of ineffectiveness and maximize staffing schedules based on cycle times, labor operations and supplies utilization.
When put to the test in head-to-head evaluations, QlikView quickly exposes the flaws of traditional OLAP cube technology and the limitations of the recent in-memory entrants that were not designed with in-memory at their core. QlikView's Business Discovery platform requires fewer resources, less time and lower cost to deploy and maintain for a more flexible and scalable solution.
"The challenges of today's economy and constant pressures to do more with less are driving many organizations to demand a solution where value is recognized in days and weeks – not months or years," said Tim Wassman, President of QlikTech Americas. "Unlike their OLAP-based BI tools of the past, QlikView allows CHOA users to interactively explore and analyze their data for faster decision making that directly impacts quality of care, influences clinical research and improves operational efficiencies."
QlikTech at HiMMS
QlikTech will be demonstrating its QlikView Business Discovery solution at booth #4477 of the HiMSS Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) conference February 20-24 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando Florida.

Four Tet | WIG126 | Released: 03/05/03
Four Tet's third album Rounds is that most rare and wonderful thing, a fresh, innovative and even daring record that will have an immediate and indelible effect on the mainstream and the way we perceive popular music. This lofty claim is buoyed on the fact that Kieran Hebden (who is Four Tet) has here perfected the art of making records unlike any you may have heard before, while at the same time maintaining a true love of melody.
"When I start a record people think if it is any way different [from what I've done before] it's some sort of rebellion, but it's not," says the man credited with launching "folktronica" with his last album, Pause. "My major aim is to be an innovator, but still accessible to human beings. That's why Aphex [Twin] will be remembered for years to come, because he sometimes appears to have no influences whatsoever."
For 'Pause' Kieran took his entry point as the mainstream musical innovation of Rodney Jerkins and Timbaland with their use of thumb pianos, harps and other unobvious instrumentation on R&B chart hits. Marrying this to an extrapolation of what would have happened had folky Bert Jansch made Krautrock, he delivered his groundbreaking second album and got a lot of people both listening and thinking. Here, he has deliberately tried not to think about what style of music it is he is making. The only proviso being that it is both new and has an emotional content.
"I used to be cynical about people saying that their music was a reflection of what was going on in their lives. But when I listen back and think about it, I realise that I am doing it myself and that 'Rounds' is totally me. I like a sense of melancholy and I like pop music. This record has a 2am lonely feeling, because that was largely when it was made, on my own, in my little flat."
He also kept his sister Leila on hand with her hip-hop and punk records("she likes to have fun to music," he says like it's a strange concept) to tell if he has gone "too geeky". Kieran is both
"People come up to me after shows and want to know about software and how things are done. But there's more to music than that. The strength of this record is hopefully you don't notice the technique initially and just get the emotional impact. I like the idea of creating a record that you go back to and play again and get more out of it."
Citing the way Miles Davis would abandon musical directions the moment they were identified and recognised, or how The Beatles and Beach Boys were obsessive about one another's creativity, Kieran admits to being a voracious consumer of new music, chasing down "ropey MP3s" and CDRs of dubious origin to read the postcards from the edge of contemporary creation.
For Four Tet the ground rules include the notion that nothing is as it seems. There are no live performances whatsoever on Rounds. "The public's conception of electronic music is a bit behind," he says. "Most people still think it's about synth sounds, but the real power of computers is their programming and editing capabilities. People say you're such an incredible drummer, but I can't play drums at all, and if they were to listen they would find out it's all actually humanly impossible."
Honed on the road during tours with Radiohead and Super Furry Animals, Rounds has had more public exposure to huge crowds on large sound systems than previous Four Tet ventures. And the influence of other real-time electronic pioneers such as Jim O'Rourke and Christian Fennesz is apparent throughout the record.
"The idea of improvising on computers completely changed the way I was making the record. In the last year audiences seem less confused about the live laptop thing and how to respond to it, which is great considering I'm standing on stage with nothing but two computers. It's interesting and fun and not so obtuse and, of course, I can push it a lot and make it more random and more aggressive", he says gleefully.
This he will be doing over the course of the Spring, in the splendid company of London's Icarus ("they make sounds and rhythms from things like air coming out of a balloon"), and Jonathan Lomax & Nicholas Wrigley, each of whom only release their material on CDR in extremely limited quantities of around 50. Lomax and Wrigley are already five albums in, and sound, according to Kieran, "like drum and harmonium improvisations, echoing some of my favourite jazz and electronic music, but in a live setting".
Rounds – which draws it's title at least partially from the notion of singing rounds and repetition – is no less than 25 year-old Kieran's eighth album (between his solo Four Tet work and band efforts with Fridge).
Moving, lovely, labyrinthine, invigorating, stimulating and exciting, Rounds is a record which sets the benchmark for the year's releases and surely delivers Four Tet to a limitless audience of folk with ears to hear and hearts to feel.
The artwork for Rounds comes from photographer Jason Evans, who has contributed to all Four Tet albums.

Request program information directly from the college or university that is hosting each class. You may be able to receive degree credit for the courses you take online, so be sure to inquire. You should take your courses from a school that employers will recognize.
College credit is the standard measurement of a student's academic competency. Essentially, it represents how much effort you, the student, put into a single course over a semester. This effort is most often represented by hours of work. You must complete 120 college credits to earn a bachelor's degree. That's about 40 classes, which most people assume you can complete in 4 years.
A bachelor's degree is a highly-structured form of study. Most colleges want to ensure their students have a good foundation in the liberal arts while also covering the major you've chosen in greater depth. General education requirements exist in order to maintain a broad education. Colleges may require you to take up to 60 credits of low-level courses spanning a variety of general subjects. While you get to choose which choose which specific courses you take, you must pick from within your college's requirements. On the other hand, the free electives you choose are drawn from available courses within other departments. Generally, many of these courses will be upper-level courses and more time-consuming than the rest of your bachelor's degree.
One of the best ways to save money on college is by transferring credit. There's a myriad of ways to earn college credit that will save you thousands of dollars on your degree. Community college, CLEP, DSST, and affordable online courses are just a few examples. But even if you're not trying to save money on your degree, if you're simply considering switching colleges, understanding how degrees are structured will help you when earning college credit.
There are many factors to be taken into account when choosing a college major. You might pick your major based on your abilities. Understanding what areas you have skills in and which areas could use work is a great way to start the process when choosing a university major. However, don't discount the fields where you lack ability just yet; you'll be able to build those up more during your studies. Finally, will you be able to easily and readily find employment in a related field after you earn the degree? Avoid the possible discouragement from employment rejection later on by considering a broad field of study. Employment rates will differ between professionals who enter the workforce with a bachelor's degree and those who go on to earn a master's or other advanced credential.
Alternatively, you may pick your major based on values that you hold. Choosing a major based on your core beliefs can lead to work that is more rewarding and encouraging. However, attending university is a time of experimentation and self-discovery, and most people solidify their values during their college years. At first glance, your passions seem just like interest areas, only stronger. But this is quite an understatement. Passions are areas of deep interest, sure, but they also incorporate your values and abilities into something that becomes a burning, lifelong desire.

Photography Updates
School of Visual Arts presents 'Art Brewer: Surf Evolution
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 4 May, 2012 : - - New York -- School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents 'Art Brewer: Surf Evolution,' a retrospective celebrating the work of legendary surf photographer Art Brewer, who has spent four decades documenting and shaping surf culture around the globe. The exhibition is presented by the Arts Abroad Program at SVA, where Art Brewer teaches a course in Action Surf Photography in Rincon, Puerto Rico. 'Art Brewer: Surf Evolution' will be on view at the SVA Gallery, 209 East 23 Street, New York City, from June 8 30, 2012.
Often described as the court painter for the worlds surfing elite, Art Brewer is known for his mastery of the numerous technical and physical challenges involved in surf photography and the strikingly expressive quality of his images, which some have described as portals to a vastly improved universe. Filmmaker C.R. Stecyk (Dogtown and Z-Boys) explains in his essay accompanying the exhibition, Art has thoroughly examined the sport of surf riding with an unparalleled sensitive ferocity...an underlying introspection is seamlessly incorporated into his works via a technical mastery which comes across as easy and elegant.
Curated by photographers Malcolm Lightner and Michelle Mercurio, the exhibition will include over 150 images from Brewers archive, made from the mid-1960s to the present, including many never-before-exhibited works. The selected work ranges from intimate portraits of surf legends like Corky Carroll, Tom Curren, Wayne Lynch, Marc Occhilupo and Kelly Slater, to evocative landscapes and waterscapes from around the world, to the dynamic images of surf riding for which Brewer has achieved international renown. The exhibition draws out Brewers pivotal role within the changing culture of the sport over the last 40 years. As C.R. Stecyk remarks, Brewer functions as both the initial creator of objects of desire and as an authoritative recorder of the negative aftermath of a culture in transition.
A largely self-taught photographer who once studied with Ansel Adams, California native Art Brewer began his photo career as a teen shooting local Laguna Beach surfers and freelancing for Surfer magazine. He subsequently served as staff photographer, darkroom artist and photo editor for the magazine until the mid-1980s. Since then Brewer has been traveling around the world in search of waves and the surfers that chase them. His portfolio spans photojournalism, portraiture and fine art photography in addition to commercial location work.
Brewers photographs have been exhibited worldwide, including at the Earl McGrath Gallery in New York, the Annenberg Space for Photography, the San Jose Museum of Art, the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Laguna Art Museum in California, the Melbourne Beach Contemporary Museum of Art in Melbourne Beach, Florida and the Museum of Contemporary Art in São Paulo, Brazil. His images have appeared in hundreds of magazines including GQ, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, Esquire and Playboy. Over the course of his career, Brewer has done over 35 covers for Surfer magazine. His books include Masters of Surf Photography: Art Brewer (The Surfers Journal, 2002) and Bunker Spreckels: Surfings Divine Prince of Decadence (1949-1977) (Taschen Books, 2007).
The SVA Gallery, located at 209 East 23 Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, is open 9am to 7pm, Monday through Friday, and 10am to 6pm on Saturday. Admission is free. The gallery is accessible by wheelchair. For further information call 212.592.2145.
